A La Mer - Spectacular Waterfront Villa on Great Cruz Bay

Description from the manager

Construction Note:

Please note that there is construction next door to this villa. A La Mer will experience noise, depending on what work is being done at the time. Please enquire with one of our Villa Specialists for further details.

Welcome to a magnificent waterfront villa right on the marvelous Great Cruz Bay of the island paradise of Saint John. This magnificent estate holds court within an oasis of stately palm trees, boasting probably what is the largest private pool on all of Saint John. A veritable tropical hamlet awaits—reserve your stay at this diamond class luxury residence for one of the most memorable experiences of your life!

You will be embraced by the aquamarine pool and the cabana while bordered by a faux white sand beach set with chaise loungers and a fire pit brazier. The pool also features a swim-up bar with underwater stools at the cabana, a wonderful poolside entertainment pavilion with large screen cable TV and DVD player as well as a wet bar with icemaker. The shaded poolside terrace includes plush upholstered seating and a large round table under a covered pergola for alfresco dining. The pass-through from the kitchen is incorporated into an adjoining counter lined with bar stools. This outdoor living area has two gas grills, a ping pong table and a wonderful deck.
You will surely enjoy reclining in the beautifully decorated great room. Adjoining the great room is the large gourmet kitchen. Every handsome detail has been custom made— mahogany cabinetry, lovely tile designs, cypress ceilings, designer island decor, artisan lighting and botanical art prints.
Nine magnificent bedrooms accommodate up to maximum of eighteen adults at A La Mer. Two of the bedroom suites have a connecting door between them, perfect for parents who wish to be near their children. A La Mer’s Cottage, with two additional air conditioned bedrooms, is off to the side of the Main Villa.
Make the luxurious yet casual A La Mer with its elegant beach vibes be your next getaway destination. A La Mer is the perfect tropical destination for families, groups of friends and even corporate retreats. For experienced divers, there is access from the coral and sand waterfront into Great Cruz Bay for snorkeling. Feel free to ask about the pre-stocking and personal chef options for the ultimate holiday experience. Whether you are just lounging in the hammock or exploring the attractions of Saint John, you will be happy to call this villa home!

"Our Stay at A La Mer"

Left on 10/14/2011 for a stay in February 2011 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Oct 14, 2011Stayed Feb 2011

Seven beautiful bedrooms & upstairs bedroom in annex is more than satisfactory. Downstairs bedroom off the garage (9th brm) is livable but not in character w/other brms. Fantastic house construction/beautiful job on appointments/nice maint staff.
